El Bulli to close 2012 and 2013 - 01/26/10 03:31 PM
A Twitter buddy, Janelle Norman, just mentioned El Bulli's closing for the years 2012 and 2013. Man, those people who were lucky enough to get reservations for 2012 are going to be VERY UPSET!
According to the El País article, El Bulli's famed chef Ferran Adrià made the announcement today at Madrid's feria gastronómica Madrid Fusión, citing "professional and personal" reasons for the closing. Kinda makes you wonder, don'it? I wonder why his wonderfully trained chefs couldn't just take over during those two years of Adrià's sabbatical(?).
Has anyone reading this ever been?
Personally, I'm not much for high-priced, high-style restaurants where you have an exquisite eating experience of microscopic portions from a world famous chef - and then you go home and order a pizza because you're still hungry.
CAN I GET AN AMEN?!! (don't leave me hangin'!)
Saludos, MadridMan
